The blogging suffered a bit because I lost interest in pretty much everything and couldn't find anything that I wanted to share. I guess that happens from time to time. Also I'm not living in rainforest now and I so want to be back among the trees.

Re goat cart in mural: when my late father was a little boy in Mount Morgan, circa 1916, one of the Saturday amusements was to see 'big boys' racing their goat-carts at the football ground. Apparently every schoolboy had a wether or billy goatand trained it to pull a cart. All mining towns used to be full od stray and surplus goats. The one in the mural is very large - I was looking at some Anglo-Nubian goats recently and thinking they would be big enough, but apparently goat-carts are now illegal.
